Ross and I always questioned when we would stop feeling like tourists in London. And I think we've gotten to the point now where we no longer feel like tourists, thus meaning we don't want to spend our time in a sea of visitors looking to see all the popular sights of London.

So, we're now on the look out for quiet, but still charming areas of London, which is why we sought out Seven Dials. The area, located by the Leicester Square {Chinatown} and Covent Garden, is tucked away behind the chaos of these two other tourists attractions. The area contains cute shops and independent restaurants. In fact, we managed to find a French wine bar with tasty cheese and hit music {yes, they actually played Jay Z, Drake, and Rihanna, which I haven't heard since moving in January, as most London music is stuck in the 90s}. We also found London's oldest, Northern Indian restaurant in Seven Dials {more to come on that later!}.

We'll definitely be returning here to explore a bit more, but our first go was successful and fun. Just look at the colorful photos below!
